Friends & Family @ music box mcr 20.09.03


Waited absolutely ages for Est’elle to come to Manchester, and turned up twice at her cancelled bookings! First heard evidence of her sublime talent on all-female posse-cut ‘Domestic Science’ on Skitz LP 'Country Man', then she guested on Blak Twang 'Trixstar' before releasing mainstream hits '1980s' and the ubiquitous 'American Boy' with Kanye West

Pictured here as emcee for UK DMC Champion and ex-Scratch Pervert Mr Thing at Friends & Family September 2003 before she went absolutely stellar

Hot, hot, hot night! A stifling claustrophobia! Music Box DJ booth is impossible! Barely enough room for your deejay and the only entrance is right behind them, so you’re lucky if you get any shots that AREN’T just backs-of-heads! Staring down the lens, holding focus, waiting for the right moment; All very much harder but well worth it. Est’elle is both very talented and VERY beautiful!!
